Methyl benzoate is an organic compound. It is an ester with the chemical formula C 6 H 5 COOCH 3, sometimes abbreviated as PhCO 2 Me, where Ph and Me are phenyl and methyl, respectively. Its structure is C 6 H 5 −C(=O)−O−CH 3. It is a colorless liquid that is poorly soluble in water, but miscible with organic solvents.
4-Bromophenylacetic acid may be prepared by the addition of a bromine atom to phenylacetic acid through electrophilic aromatic substitution.It was first prepared in the laboratory by treatment of phenylacetic acid with bromine and mercuric oxide; a mixture of the 2- and 4- isomers is made, and the 4- isomer is isolated by fractional crystallization.
4-Trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde is the organofluorine compound with the formula CF 3 C 6 H 4 CHO. Two other isomers are also known: 2-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde and 3-trifluoromethylbenzaldehyde. These compounds are derivatives of benzaldehyde with trifluoromethyl substituents.
Methyl 4-iodobenzoate, or methyl p-iodobenzoate, is an organic compound with the formula IC 6 H 4 COOCH 3. [3] It is the methyl ester of 4-iodobenzoic acid , or may also be viewed as an iodinated derivative of methyl benzoate .
Benzyl bromide is used in organic synthesis for the introduction of the benzyl groups when the less expensive benzyl chloride is insufficiently reactive. [6] [7] Benzylations are often achieved in the presence of catalytic amounts of sodium iodide, which generates the more reactive benzyl iodide in situ. [3]
4-Methylbenzaldehyde is the aromatic aldehyde with the formula CH 3 C 6 H 4 CHO. It is a colorless liquid. It is a colorless liquid. Commercially available, it may be prepared from the Friedel-Crafts formylation of toluene with carbon monoxide and hydrogen chloride under Gattermann-Koch conditions .
Potassium benzoate (E212), the potassium salt of benzoic acid, is a food preservative that inhibits the growth of mold, yeast and some bacteria.It works best in low-pH products, below 4.5, where it exists as benzoic acid.
Propyl benzoate has a nutty odor and sweet fruity or nut-like taste, and as such, it is used as a synthetic flavoring agent in foods. It also has antimicrobial properties and is used as a preservative in cosmetics.
